Zimbabwe put Pakistan in to bat, the usual policy, and it did at least treat a comparatively small crowd of a few hundred to a brilliant display of hitting by the visiting batsmen. All the bowlers suffered, most of all Chris Mpofu, whose four overs went for 59 runs.

Pakistan celebrated a series whitewash in 28 run victory over the hosts, Zimbabwe, at Harare Sports Club on Wednesday. The visitors won all three matches in the Coca-Cola ODI series, prior to the victory Pakistan had won the only-Coca Cola Test match played in Bulawayo.

A large crowd of several thousand at Harare Sports Club still seemed to enjoy this match, despite a very disappointing performance by Zimbabwe . Pakistan were far superior in batting and bowling, although neither side impressed in the field.
